Whats with the site downtime? - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ok, I'll admit; it's annoying to not be able to read exhaust reviews when the site goes down.
How else am I supposed to window shop if I can't spend half of that time reading arbitrary claims of " drone" and other perception?
Youtube videos starting with " HEY guys" do not count as reviews.

How will I ever be able to sell my car without 250 people from 3 different continents, 4 different countries, 50 different States and 100 different regions to tell me what it is worth?

As a vendor, it's extremely frustrating when the site goes down for long periods of time (whether it's an hour or two, or off and on throughout the day). When I know that I've got a PM that I can't access....that's bad.

Sometimes it can wait, but sometimes it's a client with an install or set up question. I don't always have access to customer phone numbers on weekends so we just can't get to clients if they don't call us first. So sometimes it makes us look bad.

This is the only forum I'm on like this and it happens so frequently now that we've had to change our approach to a couple of things. We've always tried to be easy to contact including through forums, so it's really unfortunate.

Honestly every time I click post now I'm only like 50% certain it will go through. The site is almost unusably clunky at this point. Maybe it's just me?

That's easy, your car is worth about the same as mine at this point, scrap value+value of tires+amount of gas in tank+change under the seat.

Nope not just you. And 50% is optimistic. The site for me is just entertainment so no bid deal but it must indeed be frustrating as hell for doing business.
On the bright side nobody can get on long enough to complain about a slow response!

Forget selling it, where would you get opinions on what a good replacement would be? WHAT IF I LIVE ON A HILL? The possibilities are endless
